  Finally expectation for a decent car for a strict ''No plug - no deal'' fan. It will take regretfully some years until it will be ready to order at a Volvo dealer.

  Concept cars are usually nice to look, but not decisively for the future. But it is different here. This here looks like a normal car in the Golf class.

  All the mechanical insufficiency from a 4 wheel drive replaced by 4 wheel hub engines. Complicate mechanic replaced by some electric cables.


Brake better without brakes Brake better without brakes
  Here is no brake to see, only the wheel hub engine. The total revolution in automobile construction does even not stop at the mechanical brake.
